8 x 8 - channel Mix Production Controller. Although a keyboard and mouse are tried-and-true DAW-control devices, they’re far more effective when used in tandem with the FaderPort 8’s precise tactile control over mix and automation functions. With 8 touch-sensitive, motorized, 100 mm faders and 57 buttons covering 78 different functions, you can quickly zoom in on audio files for editing, adjust your click-track tempo with a simple tap, modify plug-in parameters, manage aux mixes—and, of course, control track levels with the touch of a finger. The device simply alows you to control the whole DAW and its every function just by pluging it in a USB. It also allows you to use a footswitch for hands-free start/stop and it is compatible with both OSx and Windows.
